Unfortunately DICE changed their settings related to the vehicle drop in 1.5, hardcoding the reload time to 60 seconds. It was their solution for the vehicle drop spam hacks. :?
We use that system today to allow the commander to place all the enemy spottings, waypoints and CAS markers without any delay, as it was a setting we could change. It has an instant reload time now, so you can place as many markers as you want, one after the other.
After 1.5 release it's confirmed that it won't work as it does today, allowing the commander to place only one marker per minute. :( We included a reload bar in the command screen to tell him when he can place another marker.
We are not happy with this, but we will have to live with it in PR v0.87 and we are already working on alternative systems for PR v0.9. ;)
Just a heads up, and please refrain any flaming in your comments. :!:

but the fact is, we dont get any support
Anyways from loosing this marker system all might not be lost, we might even get a better system by the end of it but we will have to wait and see what magic db can conjurePosted 2009-08-20 at 03:48 by Rhino -
